Jemima J is the story of an overweight London journalist in the mid-1990s, when the internet first became mainstream. None of the characters have cell phones or computers at home and it was fun to think back to a time when gadgets did not rule our lives.
Jemima is of course in love with an unattainable heart-throb, Ben, but finds entertainment by frequenting an internet chat room where she meets Brad, the LA gym-owning stud. Between Ben, Brad, her gorgeous colleague and friend Geraldine, a pair of kooky gold-digging-yet-somewhat-glamorous roommates Sophie and Lisa, our heroine has a lot of interesting and beautiful people in her life. Of course Jemima does not feel like she fits in with them at all.
Jemima is a character that women can relate to, especially any woman who has ever worried about her weight or felt insecure about her place ih her own life. In typical chick-lit fashion, there are many fun and kooky minor characters, romance, heartache, and a surprise ending. If you are looking for a light-hearted summer read, this is it!
XOXO,
